I’m sorry but i disagree,you can avoid the trailer but you need to really want to avoid the trailer.  
I say both the aduience for being too curious and the staff for being too spoilery are to blame IMHO
 
“If you avoid all trailers ever, you get the surprise during episode. But then you miss the chance to discuss the revealed scenes because by the time the episode airs they become old news for 99% of people and nobody but you would want to talk about it anymore”
 
That’s assuming that there is only one guy who decided to avoid all the spoilers.I’m sure other people decided to avoid all spoiler therefore you can discuss the “old spoiler” with those guys

@Background Pony #537F  
Normally, trailers don’t reveal any particularly big spoilers so there’s no real need to avoid them. Well not this time. How would one know which trailers to watch and which to avoid without being spoiled? If the channel’s staff can’t manage their trailers properly they shouldn’t have been doing them altogether, the audience is not at fault here.

So yes, yes they’re twisting arms. It’s a lose-lose situation.

@gittonsxv  
Indeed.But remember no one twisted your arm to watch the trailer

Plot twist: 100th episode will be 44 minutes long

@SeraphimDawn  
Happened with Hearts and Hooves Day, Wonderbolts Academy and Castle Mane-ia.

You know. Sometimes they accidentally leak entire episodes.

Yeah to make a better comparation since the episode is 22 mins and the the preview is 2 then we could say that they are giving is 10% of the whole chapter fragmented and to compare to a movie it would be more like a 15 to 20 mins (instead of 30 and asuming most movies range from 1 and a halg to 2 hours) trailer that would (of course) have a lot of spoilers, whichis quite terrible.
 
This is why I dont watch any preview, so far I know the episode will have vinyl and octavia, and that’s all I need to know before watching it.

I have not watched any previews nor do I intend to I have only seen a couple of screencaps that’s it.

Still 16 min left to watch
 
LOL
 
we watched 4 min of ep already

@Joshua  
Nothing a little synopsys doesn’t accomplish better.

@Background Pony #75E7  
Says you. Those previews get the audience excited for it’s release.

@Background Pony #5D26  
Or maybe they should do it like the first two seasons and not give any episode previews. Nobody ever asked for those and everyone was happy.

Actually, if THAT was to ever happen, I think it would be pretty funny.

I must be weird because I don’t think this really does much for me.

If you don’t want to be spoiled, block spoiler tags and don’t watch previews. Simple as that.

@template93  
yeye, i have only seen a bit of the tavia/vinyl teaser but it shows waaaaay too much.  
it is like if the showed the entire twi vs tirek fight as a teaser.

@gittonsxv As excited as I was to see that, I agree with that. Part of the surprise of the 100th EP, is to blow our damn minds when it airs, adding more of the “They finally did it!” kind of feeling. Still got that, but would have been better if not shown as a preview. At this point, we’ve seen about 5 minutes of previews, with is 1/5 the whole Episode. I typically avoid previews for that reason, but could not help myself this time around. Despite the lack of surprise i’ll have in the 100th special, i’m still highly looking forward to it.

Ah I see they hired the trailer editor of Terminator Genysis.

THIS.  
srsly, that entire bit with octavia and vinyl should have been an amazing shock and surprise man.
